Dynamic analysis is a technique used in malware reverse engineering to understand the behavior of malware while it is executing on a system. It involves running malware in a controlled environment, such as a virtual machine, and monitoring its behavior to identify malicious actions.
During dynamic analysis, various tools and techniques are used to monitor the malware's actions, such as system calls, network traffic, and file system changes. This information can be used to identify the malware's functionality, including its ability to steal data, communicate with a command-and-control server, or execute additional malicious code.
Dynamic analysis is particularly useful in identifying previously unknown or zero-day malware, as it allows security researchers to observe the malware's behavior and understand its capabilities. However, it can also be time-consuming and resource-intensive, as it requires the creation of a controlled environment and the ability to monitor the malware's actions in real-time.
